I found a lawfirm I will never work at: Quinn Emanuel. They are the lawfirm that represents the Academy of Motion Pictures. And if you visit their website, you will see nearly every attorney is Ivy League--and order of the coif (top 10 or 5%). And the very best part is the photos: they are all black and white--obviously done by the same person-no submitting your own photo here--and very dramatic. I can just imagine the egos on these people.
Have you seen the commercial for the vacum cleaner that is a round robot that cleans by itself> The one where the lady says her children are pigs--and they literally are pigs--and her husband is a donkey (we must assume jackass, but she never says the word-I don't think she actually calls her kids pigs either). I HATE this commercial. If the roles were reversed, and a man were playing the role, what would happen if he portrayed his wife as a dog (i.e. bitch)? I think I know--outrage. I'm imagining the parody of Oprah as seen on SNL where the women go nuts and rip the arms off of other women and basically turn into animals. But because it is a man, I guess we are all supposed to laugh. I think it is horrible. And what's with calling your kids names like "pig"? My parents called me a pig all of the time, and it hurt my feelings. Should there be commercials that make it seem like a white-bread -300 thousand dollar home- you should do this too- good idea? Because the truth is, a large portion of people idolize and emulate what they see on tv, and shouldn't advertisers be a little more responsible? What if the woman playing the role was a minority? Would there be outrage then? If I weren't so lazy/stressed out/busy with life, I would "write a letter". I put that in quotations because my mom always says she is on the verge of a one man letter writing campaign, but I don't think she even owns an envelope.
I have no idea where I am going after graduation and if one more person asks me, I am apt to lose my tact.
